My wee dog had to get put to sleep today.
She'd been unwell for some time now and had her spleen, and the tumour that was attached to it, removed a couple of months ago, but the decline in her health was pretty rapid.
Tara was always a bit of a daft wee dog and she used to drive me crazy sometimes with her fascination for eating t shirts, usually cool expensive t shirts belonging to me!
People who don't 'get' dogs might find it strange that a grown man is reduced to a bubbling wreck, but a bubbling wreck I am. These people will never understand the bond that builds up between man and animal. She was a part of my family and I'm really going to miss her . . . although my wardrobe wont.

Totally understand, mate. Totally with you. Words don't even come close to what you're feeling now. You have my symapthies.
I am still not over our old family dog Sula dying over 11 years ago. She was one of my two bridesmaids (although she waited outside the church). Losing a pet is hard enough but a losing a dog is somehow even more difficult. I feel for you, Inchy.
Thanks guys, much appreciated.
I've had better weekends, that's for sure.
you didn't have a dog or was it invisible?
Difficult always to say the right things here Inchy, very sorry for your loss
Oh, I am sorry. I am one of the nutjobs that thinks her dog loves her back and lets her lick my face. I feel for you.
On a different note, I'm friggin annoyed with Google Reader. I have you bookmarked and only accidently clicked on your link (it was just under a link that was highlighted as updated) .... all this time Google had me believing you were defunct ... it wasn't telling me you were posting. Damn them.
